Benefits of technology

[0011] In yet further embodiments, the remote programmer further includes a transmitter coupled to the at least one processor and the input/output port. The at least one processor further includes the ability to program other medical devices, and the transmitter transmits a program to the other medical devices. In particular embodiments, the transmitter transmits through a relay device between the transmitter and a remotely located processing device. In some embodiments, the relay device increases a maximum distance by amplifying the processed sensor data signals from the t

This results in discomfort from the lancet as it contacts nerves in the subcutaneous tissue.
In addition, these blood glucose meters are only designed to provide data at discrete points, and even with multiple tests a day, do not provide continuous data to show the variations in the characteristic between testing times.
However, the monitors and electrochemical sensors often requi

second embodiment

[0109]FIGS. 7 and 8 show the medical device module 200 may be used with a telemetered characteristic monitor transmitter 100 coupled to a sensor set 150 and an infusion pump 400 connected to an infusion set 450. In this embodiment, the medical device module 200 is also used to program and obtain data from the infusion pump 400, or the like. This further reduces the amount of equipment, the user must have, since the medical device module 200 already includes a characteristic monitor 200′ and a characteristic meter 300 that will be required for calibration of the data from the telemetered characteristic monitor transmitter 100. Thus, the medical device module 200 can coordinate the sensor data and meter data with the data from the infusion pump 400, or update the delivery parameters of the infusion pump 400. The medical device module 200 may also be used to update and program the telemetered characteristic monitor transmitter 100, if the transmitter 100 includes a receiver for remote ...

fifth embodiment

[0112]FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a medical device module 500 that interfaces with a telemetered characteristic monitor transmitter 100 in accordance with the present invention. This medical device module 500 includes a characteristic monitor 200′ as described above, and communicates with the telemetered characteristic monitor transmitter 100 to transfer data signals from a sensor set. This embodiment does not include a characteristic meter as described above. Preferably, the communication between the medical device module 500 and telemetered characteristic monitor transmitter 100 is wireless, as described above. However, in alternative embodiments, a wired connection such as shown in FIG. 18 may be used. In further alternative embodiments, the medical device module 500 may also just act as a interface and communication device for the PDA 10 to receive processed data from the telemetered characteristic monitor transmitter 100, if the telemetered characteristic monitor transmitt...

sixth embodiment

[0113]FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a medical device module 520 that interfaces with a characteristic meter 522 in accordance with the present invention. Preferably, the communication between the medical device module 520 and characteristic meter 522 is wireless, as described above. However, in alternative embodiments, a wired connection such as shown in FIG. 18 may be used. This embodiment does not include a characteristic monitor 200′ or a characteristic meter 300 within the medical device module, as described above. Rather, this embodiment provides an interface with the PDA 10 and communication capability between the PDA 10 and the characteristic meter 522.
